Abstract

"Quand dire, c'est vraiment faire : comment fait-on des choses avec des mots, comment fait-on vraiment des choses rien qu'avec des mots ? Cet ouvrage produit un court-circuit entre l'une des inventions contemporaines les plus « révolutionnaires » en matière de langage à en croire Austin : le performatif, et la toute-puissance du logos grec. Le premier épisode isole une généalogie païenne du performatif. Quand Ulysse dit à Nausicaa : « Je te prends les genoux » parce qu'il a trop peur de lui prendre les genoux, à quelles conditions est-ce là « un discours qui gagne » ? Le second temps part de la sophistique. Dans l'Éloge d'Hélène, Gorgias théorise le pouvoir du logos qui « avec le plus petit et le plus inapparent des corps performe les actes les plus divins ». Quel est alors le statut de ce que la philosophie appelle rhétorique ? Le troisième moment est contemporain. Desmond Tutu, qui préside la Commission Vérité et Réconciliation en Afrique du Sud, inventée pour éviter un bain de sang prévisible post-apartheid, dit : « On croit d'ordinaire que le langage dit les choses. La Commission n'est pas de cet avis. Le langage, discours et rhétorique, fait les choses. Il construit la réalité. » Qu'apprenons-nous ainsi sur la performance-performativité de la parole en politique ?  Que reste-t-il donc aujourd'hui, à l'ère des fake news, des deux fétiches dont Austin se joue : le fétiche vrai/faux  et le fétiche valeur/fait ? À travers ces trois mises en scène – poétique, rhétorique et politique – de la performance langagière, Barbara Cassin, dans la suite de ses travaux sur l'évaluation, la psychanalyse ou la traduction, poursuit son exploration de ce que peuvent les mots. Barbara Cassin, directrice de recherche au CNRS, est philologue et philosophe, spécialiste de philosophie grecque. Elle a été élue en mai 2018 à l'Académie française." -- [4e de couverture]

Abstract

In "Sperone Speroni and the Debate over Sophistry in the Italian Renaissance" Teodoro Katinis mines a number of little or unstudied primary sources and offers the first book on the rebirth of ancient sophists in the Italian literature of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, from Leonardo Bruni to Jacopo Mazzoni, with a focus on the Italian writer and philosopher Sperone Speroni (1500-1588). Katinis convincingly argues that Speroni is a unique case of an early modern thinker who explicitly rejected Plato's demonization and defended the public role of the sophistic rhetoric, which enhanced the debate over the sophistic arts and scepticism in a variety of fields and anticipated some of the most revolutionary modern thoughts.

Abstract

Talking Donald Trump examines the language of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign from the perspective of sociocultural linguistics. This book offers an insight into the many stages of Trump’s political career, from his initial campaign for the Republican nomination, up to his presidency. Drawing from speeches, debates, and interviews, as well as parodies and public reactions to his language, Sclafani explores how Trump’s language has produced such polarized reactions among the electorate. In analysing the linguistic construction of Donald Trump’s political identity, Sclafani’s incisive study sheds light on the discursive construction of political identity and the conflicting language ideologies associated with the discourse of leadership in modern US society. Talking Donald Trump provides a crucial contemporary example of the interaction between sociolinguistics and political science, and is key reading for advanced students and researchers in the fields of sociolinguistics, language and politics, communication studies and rhetoric

Abstract

The notion of the philosophical imaginary developed by Michéle Le Doeuff refers to the capacity to imagine as well as to the stock of images philosophers employ. Making use of this notion, Marguerite La Caze explores the idea of the imaginary of analytic philosophy. Noting the marked tendency of analytic philosophy to be unselfconscious about the use of figurative language and the levels at which it works, La Caze shows how analytic images can work to define the parameters of debates and exclude differing approaches, including feminist ones.La Caze focuses on five influential types of images in five central areas of contemporary analytic philosophy: analogies and how they are used in the abortion debates; thought experiments in personal identity; the myth of the social contract; Thomas Nagel's use of visual and spatial metaphors in epistemology; and Kendall Walton's use of children's games as a foundational model in aesthetics.The author shows how the image promotes assumptions and conceals tensions in philosophical works, how the image persuades, and how it limits debate and excludes ideas. In providing an analysis of and reflection on the nature of the analytic imaginary, La Caze suggests that a more open-ended and reflexive approach can result in richer, more fruitful, philosophical work.

Abstract

"This volume contains a critical edition, with an English translation and notes, of 20 chapters of the Semeioseis gnomikai ("Sententious notes") of the Byzantine statesman Theodore Metochites (1270-1332).The introduction gives an extensive, partly new, description and assessment of the manuscripts as physical objects and in their relationship to each other. The manuscripts discussed, and used in the edition, are the Par. gr. 2003 (P) and Marc. gr. 532 (M), both of the fourteenth century, and, wherever M is illegible, the Scor. gr. 248 (E), a sixteenth-century copy of M. In the edition, the reading of P (including the corrections by the main copyist, Michael Klostomalles, as well as a manus secunda) is generally adopted as the authoritative text. The volume concludes with a bibliography, an index of passages, and an index of names. The discussion in the essays touches upon several subjects, more or less related to each other. Among these are the ignorance of man and the difficulty to know anything, and the moral side of seeking an active life as opposed to "living hidden."
